Re: Datagrid: multiple hilites
Whoa! So sorry. I really checked this very thoroughly or so I thought. I turns out not to a datagrid issue, but mine - or should that be a Rev bug??? Goes like this: I was relying on a handler I've had for decades rect_CreateTransparentButton which does what is say on the tin, creates a semi-transparent button at the rect you specify, so you can see the area - one click an it is gone. OK - but :) set the rect of transparentButton to someRect show transparentButton that's it! That's the problem ??? The script creates the button with create invisible button someName, does some stuff, sets the rect and shows the button - so? Well setting the rect of an invisible object off screen does not work?!? It gets limited to the screen rect. OK - it's old code and it would be better to set the templatebutton and then reset it - but still I can feel good about myself and waisting Trevors time right? This is surely a Rev bug :) 2009/10/20 Trevor DeVore li...@mangomultimedia.com On Oct 17, 2009, at 7:02 PM, David Bovill wrote: I checked again Trevor.

Re: Datagrid: multiple hilites
Thanks Trevor - silly mistake - maybe that will fix my other problem with scrolling - thanks! The other thing I needed to do was: set the dgProp [animate selections] of dataGrid to false as otherwise the automatic behavior would scroll to the first selected record. These animate features are new undocumented behaviors right? 2009/10/17 Trevor DeVore li...@mangomultimedia.com You are using dgLine with myIndexNum. That should be dgIndex.

Re: Datagrid: multiple hilites
Here are some handlers that seem to work most of the time.

Datagrid: multiple hilites
I've upgraded to the latest datagrid - fixes the add to end issue reported earlier. So naturally that's led to another one :) I want to allow the user to quickly select multiple lines of a form by clicking on them - with auto select unless you hold down the command key. I scripted a way to do that using the dgHilitedIndex: command tweet_ToggleHilite put the dgControl of me into dataGrid if the dgProp [auto hilite] of dataGrid is false then put the dgLine of me into myIndexNum put the dgHilitedIndex of dataGrid into indexNums set the wholematches to true put itemOffset (myIndexNum, indexNums) into foundItem if foundItem = 0 then if indexNums is empty then put myIndexNum into indexNums else put comma myIndexNum after indexNums end if else -- already hilited delete item foundItem of indexNums end if sort numeric items of indexNums lock screen put the dgControl of me into dataGrid put the dgVScroll of dataGrid into someScroll set the dgHilitedindex of dataGrid to indexNums put indexNums set the dgVScroll of dataGrid to someScroll unlock screen end if end tweet_ToggleHilite However this script only works until, I start adding lines using AddData. Maybe there is a better way? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
